MP for Suhum, Frederick Opare-Ansah, is to replace MP for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, as Chairman of Parliament’s Committee on Communications, the Committee of Selection of Parliament has announced.

Mr Agyapong will now head the Committee on Local Government.

The changes, which are part of a re-composition of the Select and Standing Committees of the House, according to a report of Committee of Selection, “became necessary due, among other considerations, to the need to enhance the performance and effectiveness of the Committees of the House.”

It said some chairpersons and members have been appointed as Ministers of State, Deputy Ministers of State, Regional Ministers as well as Deputy Regional Ministers.
 
“The frequent absence of such key members adversely impacts the effectiveness of the Committees,” the report said.

Dr Dominic Ayine, MP for Bolgatanga East, and former Deputy Attorney General also replaces Mr Mahama Ayariga, MP for Bawku Central and Chairman of the Committee on Subsidiary Legislation.
 
Mr Ben Abadallah Banda, MP for Offinso South, maintains his position as Chairman of the Constitutional Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, and is also the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah, MP for New Juaben South is still the Chairman of the Finance Committee; but Mr William Agyepong Quaitoo, MP for Akim Oda, replaces Mr Siaka Stevens MP for Jaman North as Chairman of the Committee on Education.
 
Prof Aaron Michael Oquaye, the Speaker of Parliament is the Chairman of the Standing Orders and the Committee on Selection; as Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu, First Deputy Speaker chairs the Privileges Committee and the Appointments Committee.

Second Deputy Speaker Alban Sumana Bagbin is the Chairman of the Committee on Members Holding Offices for Profit.
 
Mr Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Majority Leader and MP for Suame, is the Chairman of the Special Budget Committee, House Committee and the Business Committee.
